very low achievement. I concluded that the students had difficulties to make a descriptive text. Therefore, teaching writing with a new method in each
activity is important to improve the students’ achievement.
4.1.2 Formative Test
The second activity was formative test. It was conducted on 2 September 2009. After conducting the pre-test, I gave some treatments to
make students’ writing better. I explained about descriptive text briefly. After that, I gave treatments. In the treatment, I focused on 4 elements:
grammar, vocabulary, mechanic, and relevance, because I hoped that the students’ writing would improve by noticing those 4 elements. The next
activity of this cycle was giving a model. I let the students watch the miniatures animals and fruits which had been chosen as the media. The last
step was giving a test. The result of the test can be seen below: The result of Formative Test
